S ATES lea BASIL-LESLEY LINDERSMITHQoF 'WIISOKQKLAHOMA Y PORTABLE moivrne oA In r Application filed March 15, Serial No. 347,354. i i I r cabinet with a drawer having a hinged part which, when in raised position and the drawer partly moved from the cabinet,,will help to support the'board in horizontal position. v By making the cabinet portable, it

115 can be moved the same as any article of t furniture so that the owner can take the cabinet with him when he moves from one house or apartment to another.

This invention also consists in I certain 0ther features of construction and in the combination-and arrangement" of the several parts, to be herein after fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended 5 claim.- I t v j In describing the inventionin detail,-ref' erence willbe had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters, denote like or corresponding parts throughout the sev eral views, and in"which' v r Figure 1 is a frontview showing the cabinet supported'on a'wall. Figure 2 is a similar view doorsfin open position ing' the board in ironing position." i

Illel; t 7 Figure 5-183 section on line 5-5 of F igure'1. ,7 v v Infithese views, A indicates the cabinet which is provided with a'bracket 1 of hinge shape at "its top, whereby the cabinet can be c 'a manner that the cabinet can be readily re- V /moved if the owner'should desire to place the cabinet in a different position or if he should move from one house or apartment to another. The cabinet is provided with a lower enlarged part 2 andga reduced upper but showing the Figure3 is avertical sectional viewshow gattached to a wall .or other support in such part3, atop t beingplaced on the upper end of the enlarged' part to form a table.

Averticallyfarranged partitionh is placed in the enlarged part and formsa-rear chamber 6,the upper part'of which is formed the reduced part 8. Shelves 7 are placed inthe front chamber 8 which is formed. by f the partition, and each of the-parts2 and 3 has its'front provided with a door 9.

A drawer 10 is arrangedin the upper end 1 of the part 2 under the table 4, and the front end of-this drawer is provided with a'hinged Q extension 11 so that this extension can be;

swung downwardly intothe drawer when a the drawer islto be closed or can be swung upwardly in alignment with the front of the drawer when the drawer is opened to pro- Wide a support for-theironing board 12, as a hereinafter to. be described. This board 12' is of such a shapefthat it'can beplacedon end in the tchamber, 6 when not in use, as

shown in full lines in Figure 2 and in dotted i lines in Figure 3. When the board is tobe used, it is pulled from the chamber by means of a handle forming stripl3 on its front end and its rear end placed in a slot 14 formed 1 in the rear of the cabinet, with a portion of- 7 the board res-ting upon thetable l and another portion resting upon the extension 11,

so that the drawer. helps to support the board,

cross piece15 is. attached to the under 1 will abut the inner "end of the table 4: when the board is in ironing position. I

' i F rom} the foregoing it will be seen that the board can'b'e easily and quickly pulled o from the chamber'and placed 'in-horizontal w or ironing position, asfshown in Figuref'3,

and then, when theboard is to be put away, it is simply necessary to pull the board slightly forwardly sothat its rear end will face, of the board adjacent its rear end and leave the slot'lt and then the board is tilted gnwardly so that it will drop into the charm er.

Itis thought from theforegoing Vdescripf .tion that the advantages and .novel' features of theinvention will be readily apparent. I

It is to be understood that changes may i bemade in the construction and in the corn, bination and arrangement of the several parts provided that such changes fall Within the scope of the appended claim;

What I claim is r A device of the class described comprising a cabinet, means for detachably connecting the cabinet to a support, said cabinet having an enlarged lower part and a reduced upper part, a table placed on the upper end of the lower part and the rear of the cabinet having a slot therein, an ironing board normally resting in vertical position in the cabinet When not in use, said board, When in use, having a portion resting upon the table, With its rear end in the slot doors at the front of the cabinet and a drawer slidably arranged in the top part of the lower portion of the cabinet under the table thereof and a hinged extension-on the front end of the drawer Which, when in raised position, Will engage a part of the under face of the board and thereby help to support the board.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
